i do believe i hear the motor running on that right now. i do see people working on the floor. we know some of that green paint was splattered on the floor. you can see the close up of that green paint. we are talking to a lot of tourists out here. they are frustrated with the crime. >> you know it's obviously disappointing that someone would disrespect something that is for the public that much that they would degrade it and deface it. >> reporter: and also we got word a few minutes ago that the u.s. parks police will be giving a statement shortly. they are setting up a few feet away from me here. we don't know what time they will be speaking to us. of course we will have the very latest for you when we see you next hour. time now 6:1. here at home firefighters in contra costa county making sure a grass fire doesn't flair up again. 120 acres burned at the former naval weapons station.

of moisture. for us we have a cooling pattern. cooler trend. will take us right into the weekend. breezy and cooler. sunny, warm inland. not as hot as it has been. but today majority come back into the 80s or low 90s. 77 santa rosa. san jose at 79. fremont in there. cooler into saturday. probably about the same sunday. not much change monday and tuesday. toyota holding on to its top spot. the japanese car maker sold 4.91 million vehicles during the first half of this year. that is more cars and trucks than general motors. our time now 6:22. there is new concerns about teenage girls and the hpv vaccine. why health officials say it's not reaching enough girls. and boycott in bars across

cancer. the centers for disease control says a phone survey shows just 54% of girls received at least one dose of the three shot vaccine. it protects against virussing that can cause cervical cancer or genital warts. the sexually trance mitted virus is blamed for 26,000 cancers in the u.s. every year. many bars across the country are joining a boycott of russian vodkas. supporters say it's to protest against the recent government's antigay and lesbian move. stoli is the most popular. it's being pulled from shelves in the castro district. >> the owner called me and said we're taking down all the stoli. so we put it in the office. >> other bartenders say it's targeting a company not russian leaders. the stoli website has a letter from the ceo saying the company opposes the action of the russian government and supports the lbgt community.

we have major commute problems. where do we start? >> we do start with the bay bridge. westbound bay bridge as you go into san francisco. the two left lanes are closed on the incline. and the traffic is still -- well it looks like they are making some progress here. but there is still a little bit of a delay. there is a big delay coming up as you come up on the bay bridge. the backup at the toll plaza is monumental here because of the crash. i want to show you live pictures here on 37. this is the grant from sonoma boulevard. southbound 29 to eastbound 37. this big rig is trying to get this big rig back on the roads to open that ramp. but it won't be open until they do. we have another report coming up soon. now to steve. sal, we have a much bigger, stronger fog bank. that is moving locally inland. that means the cooler pattern starts today. it started a little more

they are making a u-turn and using the opposite ramp there. chp is guiding that operation. also we are looking at the bay bridge the incline section. it looks like they just cleared the crash. now that is good news. and if you can get me the toll plaza i want to show our viewers how terrible how hideous come up with anagetive on your own how --agetive on your own how terrible it is. 30 minute plus delay. getting ready to move a little bit but the damage is done. let's go back to the desk. we have an update to the breaking news we just reported an hour ago. a woman woke up to find a strange man with a box cutter over her. ktvu janine de la vega first reporter there on scene. and you have the very latest now on the police investigation. janine. >> reporter: yeah. and residents that live here are shaken. i just spoke to the victim's

the victim is at a local hospital being evaluated. police plan on interviewing her further as well as her roommate who was sleeping during the assault. the suspect is still at large. the victim only gave a very vague description. so that is why they want to interview her over again to see if they can get more released to the media. but at this point again they are just here on scene investigating trying to see if they can collect any evidence to track down the suspect. reporting live janine de la vega ktvu channel 2 news. in a cop l hours oakland city leaders will remember the victim of a deadly shooting when they talk about oakland's growing violent crime problem. that is where a popular dog walker was killed this week. paul kim pers is at -- chambers is at at scene. >> reporter: good morning, dave. i will show you immediately right here.

metal rods causedment some injure safety concerns. there will be several safety reviews in the weeks ahead. it is still possible the new bay bridge could open by the labor day weekend as originally planned. 6:38 is the time. sal is covering a couple big problems. it looks awful. >> yeah, it's bad. we are looking at the crash in vallejo. because this truck overturned on southbound 2. which is sonoma boulevard. on the ramp to eastbound 37. if you're in the area, you know it's a big looping ramp. this truck did not make that turn. chp officer told flores who was on the scene. he thinks it could have been speed. and he told brian he doesn't think alcohol was involved. and here we go with the truck that is trying to pull this big rig and right it so they can get it out of the way. let's move along and take a look at the bay bridge approach. the injury crash has been cleared so you can clear that.

super. which is good. nice. but it is still a mess. it is just terrible at the bay bridge. today was supposed to be friday light. we'll see how long it takes for this to actually clear up. and if you are thinking about driving well this is the -- those are decent alternates right now. those bridges look good. let's go to steve. some of that low cloud is working its way inland. some areas haven't seen the fog. when i was down on the ground it was tough to make it that far inland. it will make a bigger push. pretty good thunderstorm activity in the sierra. it's raining in southern california. the message for us is a cooler pattern. napa 88. today 7. morgan hill. concord 9 -- 89 to 85. a lot of tropical clouds in
